Did you like GM's Yukon hybrid Super Bowl commercial

Yukon makes a Super Bowl Ad appearance

I saw GM's Yukon hybrid commercial during the Super Bowl and sort of wondered whether GM could have better invested that money elsewhere.

The ad was clearly made for die-hard SUV fans, as it should have been, and it didn't try to portray the Yukon hybrid as some great green vehicle. The Yukon hybrid is a big SUV that achieves excellent fuel economy, especially in the city, for such a large SUV. Fine. I still think a Cadillac Escalade hybrid would have been a better fit (earlier post), but the better fit might have been no commercial.
